Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system and technique that allows users to interact with devices through simple gesture movements. This involves detecting the user's hand and the device they hold, and then identifying the gesture to perform an instruction on the device. The technical effect of this technology is to provide a more intuitive and efficient way for users to interact with devices.

Problems solved by technology

These systems, however, often require the user to learn and perform explicitly defined gestures.
Accordingly, these predefined gestures often do not feel natural or intuitive to a user.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Described is a system and technique for providing the ability for a user to interact with one or more devices by performing gestures that are intuitive to a user. More specifically, the techniques described herein provide the ability for a user to interact with a device by limiting conscious gesturing by camouflaging recognizable gestures within physical manipulations of objects. Accordingly, a user may interact with a device in manner that feels less contrived and relates to a user's understanding of the physical world. For example, sharing a content item by handing the device displaying the content to another user feels intuitive to the user because the gesture mimics the sharing of object in the real-world.

[0014]FIG. 1 illustrates a functional block diagram of a representative device according to an implementation of the disclosed subject matter. The device 10 may include a bus 11, processor 12, memory 14, I / O controller 16, communications circuitry 13, storage 15, and a ca...

Abstract

Described is a system and technique for providing the ability for a user to interact with one or more devices by performing gestures that mimic real-world physical analogies. More specifically, the techniques described herein provide the ability for a user to interact with a device by limiting the conscious gesturing for a computer component by camouflaging computer-recognizable gestures within manipulations of a physical objects.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 14 / 145,002, filed Dec. 31, 2013, the contents of which are incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]Computer systems employ various techniques in order to provide improved user interfaces. One such technique is the ability to receive various forms of input in addition to physical inputs such as those from a controller, keyboard, and / or mouse. For example, a system may include a gesture interface in order to receive inputs via gesture movements. These systems, however, often require the user to learn and perform explicitly defined gestures. Moreover, gestures may involve unusual and / or conspicuous movements to aid in the process of gesture recognition. Accordingly, these predefined gestures often do not feel natural or intuitive to a user.BRIEF SUMMARY[0003]Described is a system and technique for providing the ability for a user to interact with one or more devices by performi...
